Responsibilities
- Helping patients with activities of daily living (ADLs) - CNAs are primarily responsible for helping patients with ADLs, such as bathing, grooming, toileting, eating, and moving.
- Serving meals and helping patients eat - Ensuring that patients receive appropriate nutrition can include preparing meals, and, depending on the circumstances, assisting with eating.
- Lifting and moving patients - CNAs must be able to safely move patients into beds and wheelchairs when they can’t do so on their own. For bedridden patients, this may include turning or repositioning patients for comfort and prevention of bedsores.
- Taking vital signs - CNAs often measure a patient’s blood pressure, pulse, and temperature, and then record their findings and report them to the Charge Nurse to determine whether action is necessary.
- Maintaining a clean and sanitized environment - Depending on daily needs, this can involve changing soiled sheets, cleaning up spills, changing bedpans, setting up equipment, and reducing the spread of germs and infection in the patient’s living area.
- Facilitating patient care - The daily direct contact you have with a patient also gives you the opportunity to identify bruises, blood in urine, and other injuries and report them to medical staff who can initiate care.
- Providing companionship and friendship - Provide compassion and comfort to those who are lonely, frustrated, or scared.
Skills
- Strong knowledge of medical documentation practices.
- Experience or knowledge in geriatrics is preferred.
- Basic understanding of patient care principles.
- Excellent communication skills for effective interaction with patients, families, and healthcare professionals.
- Compassionate approach towards patient care with a focus on enhancing quality of life.
- Ability to work collaboratively within a team-oriented environment while maintaining a high level of professionalism.
